If your company has multiple trade names (under the same registration on the Chamber of Commerce) - you can effortlessly open a sub-account with the different names.
If the various layers of your company are registered as separate legal entities with the Chamber of Commerce (Kamer van koophandel), each one would need its own Business accounts.

Depending on your business entity registered with the local Chamber of Commerce or, in specific situations, you're operating on a freelance basis, we'd require different documents in order to approve your Business account.
